How to use ``xlrd.xldate_as_tuple()``

Question

I am not quite sure how to use the following function:

xlrd.xldate_as_tuple

for the following data

xldate:39274.0
xldate:39         


        

Answer 1

Use it as such:

number = 39274.0
book_datemode = my_book.datemode
year, month, day, hour, minute, second = xldate_as_tuple(number, book_datemode)
